John Mikovich

John was born Oct. 12, 1951, in Youngstown, a son of John J. and Doris M. Napolitan Mikovich.

He was a 1969 graduate of Chaney High School, and while still in school in 1966, started his five-piece band called “Nomadz.” A talented musician, John played at various clubs throughout the area with his band, and later played in a band called “Synergy.” John was also a good mechanic and owned and operated his own service station in the 1970s.

Even though he lived in Florida for the past 15 years, John remained an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians.
